Whiz through the Bunya Mountains, 200km north west of Brisbane, and kick up the dirt on 18km of fresh mountain biking tracks with the Bunya Mountains Mountain Biking Trails now open to the public. Trails vary in difficulty and length, from 1.3km to 6.3km, with three trails dedicated to mountain bikes only, and one shared with hikers. Each trail passes lookouts and picnic areas for pitstops with a view.

Make tracks in 1770 and Agnes Water, swapping the beach for the bush on the new BushTracks guided walking Tour at Traveller’s Rest 1770. The tour takes place at the brand-new Bushland Boardwalk, a 386m walkway that meanders through native bushland where visitors learn about the plants, birdlife and biodiversity of the area before finishing the walk with tea and snacks. The Bushland Boardwalk is accessible for wheelchair users thanks to the flat, step-free walkway.
